10/18/2019 8:00 AM T M M M M A brief few moments of drizzle around first light this morning. A minute? Did it last that long? I thought I was dreaming. But, no, there was a miniscule amount in the gauge. Ground is completely dry, not even slightly damp.

10/20/2019 8:00 AM 0.01 M M M M This time, I barely registered the sound of dripping in the middle of the night (?), but the ground was ever so slightly damp in places this morning. Smelled divine.

10/29/2019 8:00 AM 0.01 M M 0.5 0.05 From snow yesterday that melted before what accumulated was measurable. ... Snow still on the ground is a hard one. There's some snow (ground covered) in the shady places ... and bare ground in all other places. I measured the snow.

7/5/2020 8:00 AM 0.10 M M M M A few little waves of drips throughout the day that left the ground damp a couple of times. Welcome. More needed. Much more.

7/14/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Rain around us again, even to the southwest and west in Disappointment Valley. ... Not here. It's so dry, some leaves on the cottonwoods are turning yellow already.

7/17/2020 8:00 AM 0.08 M M M M It seems like a miracle. I was in Spring Creek Basin yesterday around 5ish when a two-minute sprinkle blew through. ... Nothing in the gauge at home. But last night, we got another wave, and that gave us the above. ... The ground's not even still damp. But it's still a huge relief.
7/18/2020 8:00 AM 0.05 M M M M A little wave yesterday around 5 that was so nice and gentle. The ground got damp! Dry quickly, but sure was nice!
7/19/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Around 3:30 p.m. yesterday, the radar showed a big green-red-and-yellow blob coming right for us. I went out ... a friend even texted from Maine that she hoped we were getting rain because the radar showed it right over us! ... It sprinkled over me in Spring Creek Basin, and when I checked the gauge later last night when I got home ... NOTHING.

7/24/2020 8:00 AM 0.19 M M M M Started raining around 8:30 and went until at least around 10:30 last night. Big relief - and still damp out! Ha - the novelty! All soft, so no filling of ponds ... but maybe we'll get more. Thankful ...
7/25/2020 8:00 AM T M M M M What happened to the rain we were supposed to get yesterday? ... All morning?
7/26/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Yeah, really.
7/27/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M I found a dead fly in my otherwise dry as a bone rain gauge.
7/28/2020 8:00 AM 0.65 M M M M Joy, happiness, relief, hallelujah. Hot damn and cool rain. ... The ground is even still damp. :)
7/29/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Harder rain (apparently) up-valley made Disappointment Creek and some of the arroyos flow briefly. No water (not even puddles) in any of the ponds in Spring Creek Basin. All roads dry by afternoon (a government vehicle was in - guy spraying weeds), and I rode in around 4 p.m. on my ATV, anticipating at least some wet areas of the road. ... Nope. All dry. The ground just soaked it all up, and pretty fast.

8/2/2020 8:00 AM 0.29 M M M M It came fast and relatively hard for about 10 minutes, and I thought it had covered the whole valley. When I rode my ATV into Spring Creek Basin about an hour later, though ... Road K20E was wet (had overflowed its ditches in several places) ... but past the west mile or so of the road into the basin ... totally dry.

8/29/2020 8:00 AM 0.04 M M M M We got a little wave yesterday afternoon. I was in Spring Creek Basin and watched it coming, coming, coming from the west/southwest. Took forever to get to us. Then I drove out of it in a couple of minutes. The other 0.02 came as drips in the night.
8/30/2020 8:00 AM 0.03 M M M M Up-valley a few miles got way more; arroyos (even small ones) were flowing with water, and the ground was soupy-muddy. Here, dry ... and even raising dust on the road.
8/31/2020 7:00 AM T M M M M Rain all around yesterday. We got a drip.

9/8/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Still smoky. Wind from the north/northwest making it smell like smoke today. Cooler than overnight, when wind was out of the south.
9/9/2020 8:00 AM 0.25 T T T T Rain in a brief wave yesterday early afternoon - 0.07 inch. Woke up to snow! Very wet, hard to measure ... melting even as it hit the ground - 38F. Most of the moisture recorded is from the snow, which has made the ground wetter than any other "rain" event this very dry year. Very hard to measure the "depth" of snow/moisture content because of the fast/immediate melting.
9/10/2020 8:00 AM 0.41 M M M M Moisture is from wet snow yesterday that melted almost immediately as it fell, from tiny little drips almost all (?) of yesterday, and from more drips in the night. Very soggy this morning. ... Very relieved!
